Pictures from Man City v Crystal Palace<\/h3>\n

Ederson was fortunate to escape an untimely red card in the first half as Manchester City faced Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday. The hosts led 1-0 approaching the break at the Etihad Stadium but were let off after a reckless challenge from Pep Guardiola’s goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

City were searching for back-to-back league victories after ending a four-match winless run by beating Luton Town 1-0 last weekend.<\/p>\n

And the champions dominated the first half against Palace, who have enjoyed success at the Etihad in recent seasons.<\/p>\n

Jack Grealish scored for the third consecutive Premier League game for the first time in his career to hand City a deserved lead on 24 minutes.<\/p>\n

But Guardiola’s defence was split open under five minutes before the half-time whistle as Jean-Philippe Mateta found a way in behind.<\/p>\n

Ederson rushed out of his box to close the 26-year-old down, sliding in but missing the ball and taking him out.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian was fortunate to have a defender covering his goal, which meant referee Paul Tierney showed him a yellow card rather than a red one.<\/p>\n
